You all probably know this but I have been looking for a definitive book on Bluewater flyfishing and found the best that I could find... If you are looking for the same thing pick up Trey Comb's"Bluewater Flyfishing"..excellent on every aspect including all species...but what really impressed me is the Fly Patterns which can be done for stripers as well.. We have seen most of the patterns but the ones in the book that are the same in Veverkas book seem to have clearer recipies. Check it out if you have not already.
